I apologize for asking a question which you have most likely answered previously but here goes. If retail giants like Walmart make a major
commitment to online sales of books, cd's, etc. why do analysts think
AMZN has such a unique concept that others cannot duplicate or ameriorate upon it ? At best profit margins will be miniscule if the likes of Walmart want this marketplace. Walmart must have virtually
an unlimited source of inexpensive funds to finance such an operation while AMZN is raising funds in the junk bond market which is very expensive money. Perhaps you might reply over the weekend time permitting.

The weak SEEK earnings report has put a quick stop to the obscene internut rally.

I expect a selloff this afternoon.
